I keep my binoculars around my neck. I have two pair that I use regularly. I put a wide strap on both of them. One of them is made by Zeiss 8x30 from East Germany. I've had them for about 10 years. I bought them used on eBay.

The other pair is a Leupold, old style, I bought them new in the late 70s. 9X35 Poro prism, Gold rings.

Both of these have individual focus eyepieces. All of my friends want to hunt with my Leupolds.

If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge.

Once you render an opinion, you open yourself up to criticism.
